 Hope Squad members Dani, Lucy, Lila, and Anderson from Truckee High attended Truckee Town Council's meeting on March 26th to receive a Hope Week proclamation from Mayor Polivy. "Truckee High’s Hope Squad students participated in a proclamation for Hope Week. This initiative holds particular importance as suicide was the 11th leading cause of death in the US in 2021, with California ranking 45th in the nation for suicide deaths. In response, TTUSD established the Hope Squads in 2020, a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program.
